description: The following analytic identifies renamed instances of msbuild.exe executing.
Msbuild.exe is natively found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 and
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319. During investigation, identify
the code executed and what is executing a renamed instance of MSBuild.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
OriginalFileName: MSBuild.exe
Image|endswith: msbuild.exe
condition: selection1
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
known_false_positives: Although unlikely, some legitimate applications may use a moved
copy of msbuild, triggering a false positive.
